Additional Stages of the EPW

These stages are completely optional, but all Peacewalkers are welcome to do both!

​If you add the optional day trip to Zagreb, the whole EPW will take you 14 days.If you also decide to stay 2 nights in Ljubljana in order to see Lake Bled, the EPW will take you 15 days in total.

ZAGREB

Zagreb is an hour’s drive/train from Krapina. This year we are offering PWs the chance to visit Croatia’s laid-back and beautiful capital.How does this work? If you want to see Zagreb, check into Krapina for2 nights, and enjoy Krapina that evening. In the morning, leave your bags in Krapina and the hostel will help you get to Zagreb for a day trip. Zagreb is a great small city and easy to see in a day’s meandering and exploring. Then that evening, you can return to Krapina refreshed and then the following morning, continue your EPW.For example:Monday afternoon – Arrive in Krapina. Eat/Explore/Sleep.Tuesday – Day trip to Zagreb – Return to Krapina. Sleep.Wednesday – On the road again!For more information, check out this In Your Pocket guide to Zagreb!

LJUBLJANA AND LAKE BLED

Ljubljana was a big hit with the PWs in 2015, as it is truly the best city on the route. We recommend you spend 2 nights (or3) in Ljubljana. On your 1st day arriving explore this city: its castles, rivers, cafes and streets. On your 2nd day, get yourself to Lake Bled (and if possible to Lake Bohinj). They are 50kms away from the city and are truly amazing! Very well worth the visit!For example:Friday afternoon– Arrive in Ljubljana. Eat/Explore/Sleep.Saturday– Day trip up to Lake Bled– Return to Ljubljana. SleepSunday – On the road again!
